Washington June 25 government officials in charge of price reduction campaigns heard from Howard Figg assistant to the Attorney General that conserving cloth must not trample on women's modesty. Retailers showed live models in knee length gowns to illustrate extreme fall styles and Figg blushed as the mannequins performed. He declined to pose and urged skirts below the waist while noting no economy comes from shorter skirts. The dealers argued cloth use is similar for long and short skirts and urged minimal changes to styles to let women wear garments longer.
